Film set catering in Fifield, cooked to order
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. Whether it is shoots on location and lunch at the unit base, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Fifield can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Fifield
Do you come out to small places like Fifield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Fifield?
The closest is Maidenhead station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Send allergies to us in writing
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew normally gather round the hatch once service starts. In December, daylight in Fifield ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
